The National Police Service has appealed to the public to provide information that could help identify more suspects linked to the incident at All Saints’ Cathedral in Nairobi.

The appeal comes as investigations continue into a disturbance that took place on June 12, 2026, when a group of individuals stormed the church compound and disrupted a meeting.

In a press statement issued from the Office of the Inspector General at National Police Service Headquarters, police confirmed that officers responded quickly to the scene and restored order.

“Upon receiving reports of the disturbance, police officers responded promptly. They successfully repulsed the group, restored order, and secured the area,” the statement read.

Police said they have already arrested two suspects who are currently in custody. Investigators are also reviewing CCTV footage from the church and surrounding areas to identify others involved in the incident.

The service said it will pursue all individuals linked to the disruption and assured the public that the investigation is ongoing.

“The National Police Service appeals to anyone with information that may assist the investigation to come forward and report it to the nearest police station, or via emergency numbers, toll-free line, or WhatsApp number. All information will be treated in the utmost confidence,” the statement added.

Police further said they remain committed to protecting public spaces, including places of worship, and promised a thorough and impartial investigation.

“This incident will be investigated thoroughly, professionally, transparently, and impartially to ensure that all those involved are brought to justice,” the statement said.

Church attack sparks debate

The incident at All Saints’ Cathedral has triggered strong reactions from political and religious leaders. Former National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi condemned the attack, saying it raised concerns about growing intimidation targeting churches in Kenya. Speaking during a church service in Bungoma County, Muturi said places of worship must remain protected from political or criminal interference.

“No one should ever imagine that the Church can be subdued through intimidation or the use of force,” Muturi said. He added that churches continue to serve as moral voices in society and should not become targets of violence.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua also commented on related incidents during the church service in Bungoma. He claimed that investigations into earlier church-related violence had already identified suspects, including claims involving police officers, and said he expected prosecutions to follow.

His remarks have added to the ongoing political debate around accountability and security operations during public gatherings.

Police have not confirmed the political claims but reiterated that investigations remain active and evidence, including video footage, is being analysed.

The All Saints’ Cathedral incident has intensified debate about the safety of civic and religious spaces in Kenya. Religious organisations and civil society groups have called for stronger protection of churches and faster action against those behind disruptions.

As investigations continue, police say they are working to ensure accountability while urging members of the public to assist with credible information that may help bring all suspects to justice.
